Drunk In Charge

As well as the more usual case of drink driving a motorist can commit the offence of being drunk in charge or of being in charge over the limit.

Unlike drink driving the magistrates do not have to disqualify but usually will seriously consider doing so.

You can be guilty of this offence just by sitting in the car when over the limit. If it can be proved that there was no likelihood of you driving while you were still over the limit then there can be a defence.

We defend many of these cases and are used to obtaining the scientific evidence which is generally required to successfully challenge the prosecution.

Testimonials

I chose Charles to represent me for my totting up case as I found him very personable on the phone, his price was very reasonable after shopping around and he has a fantastic moustache. From the beginning he made me feel completely at ease with the situation and clearly explained all the factors involved with putting together a plea for exceptional hardship. At the magistrates court, Charles' confidence, likability and obvious groundwork on the case rid of any worry, nerves and anxiety I'd been feeling, which confirmed to me that my money was well spent. This man is worth his weight in gold. Thank you Charles

Mr Bensley

I was recommended Charles Stansfield to assist with a driving offence. His command of the law is excellent, coupled with his years of experience and commanding delivery in court. From start to finish he was a pleasure to deal with and I can&rsquo;t thank him enough for the way he successfully handled my case.
